Yes, Yes, Yes, Does that mean you agree? Do you have any or know of situations where this can be verified so that we can be sure that this statement is true?

That was the statement to which I was refering.
I think it would be extremely rare for this to happen on a residential electrical inspection.
As I have stated before, if you have employees or are an employee, OSHA prohibites you from removing a 'live' panel cover. Removing the cover IS working 'live' if the power is NOT off.

I saw a man(after the fact)that was burned from arc flash from a 120/240 panel in a apartment complex. He was adding a breaker to a live sub panel ( don’t remember why)
Anyway he dropped a wire clipping and apparently it landed across the main lugs. It was not as bad as the pics you posted, but had he not been wearing a shield he most likely would be blind.He suffered severe burns to both of his hands. Lucky guy though, no permanent damage other than scaring. Osha shut the job down for a week if I remember right.
His face shied looked like a ball of wax!
